Total Solar Eclipse

A brief interlude from “Trails & Trees" with very slow cellular internet.

We went to Madras, Oregon, for the eclipse. Amazing experience! Here are a few photos.

Lon viewed the partiality phases through filter-equipped binoculars.
Sue was set up to take photos.
Ritz Crackers make an acceptable pinhole camera for the partial eclipse phases!
Totality was AWESOME!!!! The temperature dropped about 10°F. The corona was much brighter than I expected it to be. Two minutes went by incredibly fast!
The return of full-sun after the eclipse. I can count six sunspots.
An incredible experience. Plan now for 2024!

Final eclipse photos here.
